The Fishkill Historical Society is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization founded in 1962 by local residents dedicated to preserving the history of Fishkill and the Van Wyck Homestead. The founding members established the society to save the abandoned Homestead from imminent demolition due to the construction of a planned cloverleaf exit ramp for Interstate 84 at Route 9.
The Van Wyck Homestead Museum is a colonial-era house built in 1732 by Cornelius and Hanna Van Wyck, and the Fishkill Historical Society owns and operates it. During the Revolutionary War, the Continental Army used the house as the Officers' Headquarters for the Fishkill Supply Depot.
